Olivia Carter had two rules: never date a man from Manhattan, and never beg. But when her mother's hospital bill hits eighty seven thousand dollars, she has no choice but to beg the most ruthless billionaire in New York. Ethan Blackwood, thirty two, billionaire chief executive officer of Blackwood Holdings. The man who fired her on her first day for spilling coffee on his ten thousand dollar suit. He remembers her. And he has an offer. "Marry me for thirty days. Be my wife for my grandfather's trust fund dinner. I will pay off your debt, one hundred thousand dollars. No feelings. No intimacy. No kissing." She signs. But every rule will break. The penthouse has one toothbrush with her name. His grandmother loves her real self. His ex fiancee has a spare key. And at two in the morning in the kitchen, in his white shirt, he whispers do not tempt me. A Queens girl. A Manhattan billionaire. A thirty day contract. That becomes forever.
